He told Billboard about the song;
"I had this Beatles ditty in my head from The White Album, 'Cry Baby Cry,' that's been stuck in my head all these years.

The lyrics are a little dramatic, I think."- Jesse Wells is known as a frontman for the rock bands, Dead Indian and Cosmic-American. He started a new project as Welles in 2017.
